The Drainie-Taylor Biography Prize is awarded annually for the best work of biography, autobiography, or personal memoir. It was created in 1998 in the name of two men who made significant contributions to Canadian culture and entertainment: Nathan (Nat) A. Taylor is one of the country's leading entertainment impresarios and a founder of Cineplex. John Drainie (1916-1966) was a prominent member of Canada’s first generation of professional actors. These two outstanding individuals are linked through writer and actor Claire Drainie Taylor, who was married to John from 1942 until his death in 1966, and who is now married to Nat Taylor.
